Such an incredible set of highlights and that was just the goals. He's right up there with the best of all time IMHO. 

I'm not going to waste any emotional energy getting worked up about if he stays or goes. There's nothing any of us can do about it. I thank Scully for teaching me that no player is irreplaceable or worth getting worked up about. He turned into Hogan turned into May. Life goes on. But having said that what a player. Ever since I saw his pre draft highlights he has reminded me of Cyril Rioli. So I did a little bit of picking. Here's some stats to compare them. 

                           Kosie                    Cyril.                Kosie                    Cyril                  Kosie                    Cyril

Year                    1                             1                         2                          2                          3                          3

Games             14                            25                      25                         19                       23                          20

Goals  (Av)         7 (0.5)                  24 (1.0)             40 (1.6)                21 (1.1)            41 (1.8)                 27 (1.4)

Tackles (Av)     35 (2.5)                 87 (3.5)            87 (3.5)                 89 (4.7)             62 (2.7).               98 (4.9)

Some very interesting comparisons. The one that stands out for me as I always thought Kossie's defence work and tackling was way ahead of Cyril. Wrong. Also interesting that Kossie's tackling dropped off last season. But Kossie is clearly a much more substantial goal scorer than Cyril who kicked 42 in his 8th year and 47 in his 9th year.

Kozzy is such a special player and only 21! I can't even imagine what he will be doing at 24/25 years of age at his prime... 😩

Yep......can't wait to see him reach top gear. Hope it's in a red a blue jumper. 

I think as great as Petty is ..he too will probably reach new heights ...no pun intended.

I also think Sparrow has incredible potential.

Cyril kicked 40 goals or more twice in 11 seasons.

Kozzie has done it twice before he is 22 yo.


It’s not that hard as May showed in signing an extension during the week. 

If you want to stay at the club sign on the dotted line………………………………………….

The Bros on the Deebrief podcast criticised our stance of ‘giving Kozzie all the time he needs’ to make a decision and to push for a signature now; tacitly pushing for an ultimatum on the eve of the season.

Do people actually think that is a good thing to do?! Hands up who is that dim, to think that would be good for him this season or that it would keep him around long term?

Bizarre.

It strikes me as a bit childish...

Needs a 5 year extension to give him time to decide

These are big decisions for players and they work to their timetable, not that of frustrated/impatient supporters.

Annoying as it is for us not to know now, we have to just be patient and hope he stays.

what did the club actually say?

giving him some time? or giving him as much time as he wants?

i hope the club has set a time limit (not publicly) of by the mid season bye. if it drags on after that it could have an impact on the whole team and detract from the premiership focus and we end up in another media circus

i know you can't absolutely force it, but there comes a reasonable time when it must be resolved

Even a Key forward like Charlie Dixon has only kicked 40 goals or more twice in 12 seasons....

If he wants out, or is leaning out, the circus comes.

What is the incentive to push for a public decision? Because that is the only thing that will disperse the circus. 

I am all for coming to an agreement at some point if he is to go but ultimatums solve nothing and probably push him out. 

At some point we have to get comfortable with good players being wanted by other clubs if we are continue to be a good team.

Even if the club did give him a timeframe we would never know unless he re-signed. So it wouldn't stop the media speculation.

Agree.

We have to ensure an environment and of course a remuneration, that players are comfortable with.

What would a timeline even achieve? The only scenario which we'd be able to do something is if we it appear that we would finish outside of top 8. At this point you would stop playing him with the intent to develop others. We all know the likelihood of that is quite small.

I understand that fans are frustrated and really don't want to go through the circus of last year again but this would be a pretty silly thing to do.

I'm still confident Jacko might stay for what it's worth

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
